Increasing value through growth, efficiency, capital employed<br />

TKVA can be increased using three levers: profitable growth, higher operating efficiency, and optimized<br />

capital employed. A major contribution to profitable growth and thus to the value of the company is made by<br />

investment projects that generate returns higher than their cost of capital. Higher operating efficiency and<br />

optimum capital employed are also aims of the new impact program. With it we will increase EBIT, reduce<br />

net working capital and so sustainably improve TKVA.<br />

The results of the analysis of the performance indicators feed directly into portfolio management. Group<br />

management decides which businesses are to be expanded to realize set TKVA targets, and which activities<br />

we should withdraw from in a timely way to protect value.<br />

Value-added impacted by impairment charges<br />

In calculating TKVA we applied the new definitions of EBIT and capital employed for the first time from<br />

2010/2011 and adjusted the prior-year figures.<br />

In the past fiscal year ThyssenKrupp generated highly negative value-added of €(2,962) million. This was<br />

caused by the high impairment charges in the Steel Americas and Stainless Global business areas, which<br />

weighed heavily on EBIT of the ThyssenKrupp Group. In addition, average capital employed increased yearon-year<br />

by €2,456 million in 2010/2011, mainly due to the major investments in the Steel Americas and<br />

Stainless Global business areas. The value-added figures of the other six business areas were strongly<br />

positive and in most business areas were considerably up from the prior year, mainly due to higher<br />

earnings. Details on the value-added ratios are shown in the table below.<br />
